Our mission is to cultivate a space where women’s voices are central, where theology is rigorous and inclusive, and where faith is not domesticated but daring. We believe that deep, transformative engagement with God and one another is not reserved for a privileged few, but is the birthright of every woman made in the image of the Divine.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T02:17:59.899854+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/theology-girls-podcast-7472338"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 49: Women, Spirituality and Coming Out of Hiding with Bekah Stewart","slug":"episode-49-women-spirituality-and-coming-out-of-hiding-with-bekah-stewart","published_at":"2026-06-23T11:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/theology-girls-podcast-7472338/episode-49-women-spirituality-and-coming-out-of-hiding-with-bekah-stewart","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/theology-girls-podcast-7472338","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jonathan-goldstein7/episodes/Episode-49-Women--Spirituality-and-Coming-Out-of-Hiding-with-Bekah-Stewart-e3l1k16","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/1087bdfa0/podcast/play/121736678/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-22%2F9e570d2d-6108-5849-8509-3b7d0d2a93ec.mp3","summary":"Today we are sharing a recent conversation spiritual director, coach, and author, Bekah Stewart to discuss her book “Permission to Matter: Reclaiming Women’s Humanity & Authority at the Invitation of Jesus”.
